The problem is that now that I am ready to get help, my parents refuse to let me. I don't think they believe in depression. They keep telling me the oh so typical phrases such as "get over it" and "snap out of it". I need to see a therapist and do something about this because if I don't then I honestly think I will lose control and do something that I won't live to regret (literally).

Seems just like something I would have written a couple years back. I too went to see therapists and they wanted me to go to a p doc to be officially diagnosed with depression and I needed meds then immediately to slow my sui thoughts and sh. Yet when they spoke to my parents about it they turned and ran and dragged me along. They won't allow me to visit any doctor alone anymore without their authorization. They are paranoid and don't believe in depression.
If you're still in school try to grab the chance and speak to your guidance counselor. Seek the help needed. Once you're out of school it's that much harder to deal with it. If your pediatrician is on your side try to have them too work it for you. ( my pediatrician sided with parents).
Lots of luck.
